BlackBerry joins hands with Samsung for better Android security

BlackBerry has teamed up with electronics giant Samsung as well as other high-profile players to enhance the capabilities of the new mobile-device management and security platform.

BlackBerry and Samsung, the world’s No. 1 smartphone maker, will offer a “highly secure mobility solution” for Samsung’s Android devices starting in early 2015. The system will wed BlackBerry’s security platform with the South Korean company’s own security software for its Galaxy devices.

BlackBerry also touted a string of improvements to its existing products, including mobile video-conferencing via its messaging app and the ability to divide usage costs between employer and employee.
